Tom Hernandez Team - Rise Group

Experiencia fantástica: After a terrible experience with another realtor, Tom and the RISE team really came through in helping my sister and I with selling our mom's condo after her passing. Tom was patient and truly listened to all our concerns and provided the appropriate feedback and suggestions that got the property sold quickly. Tom was also really great at communicating with us and keeping us informed to make the process go as smooth as possible. We are very happy with our decision in trusting the RISE team and truly appreciated all their hard work. We would definitely would recommend them to anyone looking to sell their property.

Experiencia fantástica: I would like to share with anyone needing real estate services to call Tom Hernandez - Group!! Tom and Elbin went way beyond the call of duty with sincerity and compassion to help me sell an apartment in Long Beach. With me living 1800 miles away in Iowa...That's amazing!! Tom and his team made a stressful situation calming, and communicated every step of the process along the way. I am forever grateful to Tom and Elbin. So give these guys a call today!!

Experiencia fantástica: Tom and Christian were great to work with, they offered patient guidance and were always quick to respond.

Experiencia fantástica: Oh boy, where do I start……… selling our townhome was honestly one of the most stressful experiences we’ve had. The previous agent we hired gave us the worst real estate experience we’ve ever had, and to make things more challenging, the buyer’s agent was also very difficult when it came to communication. We finally got rid of our previous agent and then Tom Hernandez and his team stepped in and completely changed the experience. They were responsive, straightforward, and stayed on top of everything from start to finish. Every time I called Tom, he either picked up or immediately texted me that he would call me right back, and he always did. That level of communication made a huge difference to us because it was a major pain point with the previous agent. The moment Tom came on we got red carpet treatment with a marketing campaign that skyrocketed our Zillow views and likes. He hosted open houses every Saturday and Sunday until we received an offer. Our previous agent hosted (2) in 90days, yea you read that correctly. Even with multiple delays and obstacles while in escrow, they kept things moving and got us to closing when it felt like the deal was never going to close. We are extremely grateful for Tom and his team. They showed up when it mattered most and got it done. We highly recommend Tom to anyone looking for someone who will truly stay on top of things and push through to the finish line.

Experiencia fantástica: I had an amazing experience working with Ceyla and Tom to purchase my home in Culver City. As a first-time buyer in the Los Angeles market, I had a lot of questions, and they were always patient, kind, and incredibly responsive. When a few unexpected challenges came up during closing, they went above and beyond to problem-solve and make sure we stayed on track. They were creative, resourceful, and completely committed to getting the deal done on time. Ceyla showed up to every appointment, communicated clearly, and made me feel supported not just as a client, but as a person navigating a complex process. Their network and expertise in the LA market made a huge difference. I truly felt like I had real partners advocating for me every step of the way. I can’t recommend them enough and will absolutely be referring them to friends and family in Los Angeles.

Experiencia fantástica: Tom was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I highly recommend him and his office for any real estate needs. He was professional, personable, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the entire process. Tom went above and beyond by staying in close communication, understanding my wants and needs perfectly. His expertise and guidance were invaluable—and thanks to him, we were able to close just three weeks after seeing the property!

Experiencia fantástica: I had the absolute pleasure of working with Tom Hernandez on the sale of my loft in DTLA, and I could not be happier with the results. From the start, Tom was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly attentive to my needs. He understood the unique aspects of selling a loft in the downtown market and guided me through every step of the process with ease and confidence. His marketing strategy was thoughtful and effective, highlighting my property’s best features and attracting strong interest right away. Tom was always available to answer questions, provide updates, and offer sound advice, which gave me great peace of mind throughout the transaction. His negotiation skills were outstanding, ensuring I received an excellent outcome. If you’re looking for a realtor who is experienced, dedicated, and truly cares about his clients, I highly recommend Tom Hernandez.

Experiencia fantástica: I truly cannot say enough good things about my experience working with Tom. From start to finish, he was everything I needed in a realtor: incredibly patient, knowledgeable, kind, and genuinely looking out for my best interests every step of the way. He never rushed or pressured me, and I always felt supported, heard, and well-informed throughout the entire home buying process. Whether it was answering my endless questions, calmly guiding me through uncertainties, or offering honest advice, Tom was a constant source of reassurance and expertise. It’s rare to find someone who strikes the perfect balance of being professional and personable, but he did just that. If you’re looking for someone who’s not only great at what they do but also genuinely cares about their clients, I highly recommend Tom.

Experiencia fantástica: Matt was very responsive and punctual to all of my viewings and scheduled meetings during escrow. As a first time homebuyer he explained out the process step by step and worked well with my chosen lender. He represented me well and we closed on the property with an excellent deal! Highly recommend Matt and his team!

Experiencia fantástica: Tom and the team are amazing! I had a few issues come up with the sale of my condo in Studio City and Tom was able to handle everything that was thrown at him with ease.

He was easy to work with and very personable. If there was a problem, Tom took care of it! Highly, highly recommended.

Experiencia fantástica: Tom and his team were professional and thorough. We got more for our mother's house than we ever thought.

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I are first-time homebuyers and just bought a condo in Koreatown. We originally started our search on Zillow and were paired up with Cristian and his teammate Luly to view our first couple of options. At the time, my husband and I were looking for something completely different, and were feeling a little defeated when what we were looking for was out of our price range or was very out of the way as far as distance. While we were on the edge of calling our search quits, Cristian and Luly talked us through everything to help reframe our thoughts for something more obtainable and realistic. Cristian was so incredibly patient and knowledgable and had number ready for a reload overview of what costs would look like. They walked us through every document, were in contact with the HOA , sellers, HVAC, and plumbers to ensure a smooth transition for our move in date. The team in general was overall just incredibly kind, thoughtful, and detail-oriented. He and Luly made something that can be very complicated, overwhelming, and stressful, especially for first-time buyers, a walk in the park, and we felt taken care of. I highly recommend connecting with Cristian, Luly, and the Tom Hernandez team at Rise Group for your home buying and closing needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Tom & his team were a joy to work with. He’s very knowledgeable & professional. We had 2 offers within the first week & closed quickly! He responded in a timely manner when I had questions. I highly recommend Tom for your real estate needs!

Experiencia fantástica: I have used the same realtor for over 40 years. This was the first time I used Tom i couldn't ask for a better realtor he's a man of his word and his performance was outstanding.!!!! Looking forward to doing work with him in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Robert is a good professional. He is very helpful and diligent. He also not flustered by intense situation and is very considerate.

Experiencia fantástica: Needed help getting familiar with the condo market in LA. Got paired up with the Rise group through Zillow and I must say we lucked out. They listened to our needs, went to see several properties in our price range, were extremely knowledgeable and customer service focused. We ended up buying one of the condos we toured in West Hollywood. The Rise team was everything you hope for from a real estate broker. Will recommend and use them in the future. Great team!

Experiencia fantástica: My partner and I have been working with Tom Hernandez to help us find a home. Tom has been phenomenal throughout the entire process. He listened to us and took the time to show and accompany us to various listings educating us along the way. He is truly versed in his profession with many years of experience. Tom has been front and center asking all the tough questions to ensure we are cared for as we navigate the complexities of home buying. He doesn’t only say that he has our best interest, but demonstrates it in each interaction. We highly recommend Tom for any real estate needs because he extends his relationship beyond the transaction keeping clients informed and prioritized.

Experiencia fantástica: I cannot recommend Tom enough. As first time home buyers, we had such a positive experience with Tom and he really put our nerves to ease. I never fully trust someone right off the bat, but you can really tell from Tom’s energy that he’s a good man and truly has your best interest. That is priceless when you’re nervous first time buyers. He’s excellent at communicating and also has all the right contacts to make the home buying process seamless for his clients. Thank you so much again, Tom!! This was such an important part of our family’s journey and we couldn’t be happier to have had you as our agent!

Experiencia fantástica: What can i say - Tom, Matt and the rest of the team are amazing. He helped us buy our first place - we must have looked at 50+ properties before finding one we loved. Al the time Tom was super patient traipsing all over north LA with us for about a year. Incredibly knowlegable about locations, pricing history and whether a seller is out to lunch 😜. He then helped us sell that and buy a larger property, as we needed to expand out living space. Again, super helpful always thinking of other options or approaches. He has a customer for life! Thanks Tom 👊

Experiencia fantástica: Cristian & Matthew went above and beyond to help us find our home. Over the past several months, we connected almsot every day. Anytime we found a house we were interested to look at, we were able to check it out as soon as possible. They worked around our schedule always and were able to accomodate. We especially loved that they are a family business as well. They truly cared to make sure we found the right home. Being that it was our first time buying a home, they walked us through everything. There were no dumb questions. And best of all, they helped us close a deal with the home of our dreams :) Couldn’t recommend them more!

Experiencia fantástica: As a first-time home buyer, I couldn't have asked for a better team than Tom, Matthew, and Erica. From the start, they patiently walked me through every step of the process, answered all my questions, and educated me on the market. They helped me run comps on countless properties and never made me feel rushed as I narrowed down what was the right fit for me. They were incredibly responsive—showing me houses within hours of my requests—and truly went above and beyond to make a deal happen for me. I was nervous about the whole process, but they made it feel manageable and enjoyable (even when my initial offers didn't make the cut). Their knowledge, patience, and kindness made all the difference. I highly recommend Tom, Matthew, and Erica to anyone looking for caring, smart, and proactive agents who are genuinely invested in finding the perfect home for their clients. They’re the BEST!

Experiencia fantástica: Tom Hernandez and the Rise group were there when I needed them. They helped make the sell of our home at 4617 Atoll Avenue, Sherman Oaks go smoothly and quickly.

I would highly recommend Tom and the Rise Group and know that they take good care of their clients.

Experiencia fantástica: I highly recommend working with the Hernandez Team. Being first time home buyers, my wife and I had many questions about the home buying process from start to end. Cristian and the Hernandez team were extremely helpful with explaining the whole process and answering any questions that we had. Despite being based out of Los Angeles, Cristian was very knowledgable with the market in San Diego, and never hesitated to come down to San Diego for anything that was needed. Cristian navigated the entire experience with professionalism, kept us informed with any and every update, and provided valuable insight. We highly recommend the Hernandez team and realtor Cristian for anyone looking to buy a home in Southern California!

We highly recommend the Hernandez team and realtor Cristian. Thanks again Cristian for all your help in finding our home.

Experiencia fantástica: Tom Hernandez was recommended to me during the process of handling my mother's estate soon after she passed away; I am beyond pleased and grateful that he and his team were the ones who handled the listing, marketing and selling of her condo. Tom and his kind and professional team dedicated so much time into making sure the property was marketed and shown in the most optimal way to ensure a highly satisfactory outcome for me as the seller, especially during a difficult time. Tom's communication skills exceed any reasonable expectation. He was always quick to answer phone calls, texts and emails and never for a moment left me feeling anything other than top priority. His passion for his work, kind and assuring nature and dedication to true professionalism shone thru during my entire experience working with him.

Experiencia fantástica: Tom and his team should be your choice. Why would you pick anyone else? Such a kind man with amazing Real Estate knowledge. We had some problem solving to do in our transaction and Tom was right there with the solutions. I am so thankful that Tom was recommended to us.

Experiencia fantástica: It's hard enough to make friends in LA, but when you work with Team Hernandez - you get treated like family. My wife and I had a budget, but as first time homebuyers we had no idea what we were doing. Thankfully, we met Tom and Matt who immediately made us feel our mission to find a home was the most important thing in the world and they would stop at nothing to make that happen. I'm not kidding. We saw everything - from single family homes, to condos; from new construction to old, beat up properties; from Silver Lake to West Hills...and I think even Calabasas at one point. We ended up seeing nearly 70 properties during our search, made offers, got out-bid, went into escrow, got cold feet...and through it all Team Hernandez was there - patient, understanding and determined to not let us get discouraged by the LA housing market. If you're a first time home buyer, we can't recommend Tom and his team enough. They took what seemed like such a daunting task and yet made themselves available to answer any and all questions and followed through on their promise that we would come out of this journey with a home we love.

Experiencia fantástica: Great service

He explained every step of the transaction clearly, always made himself available to answer questions and provide advice, and was able to negotiate the best price for the condo.

Experiencia fantástica: Tom was incredibly helpful during our first homebuying process! We visited an open house on a whim and realized it was our dream home, but didn't have any of our paperwork or loans in order.
